YOUR TASKIn this activity, you will begin by reviewing 9 faces with names and racial/ethnic self-identifications provided. These individuals were chosen because many of them will move from one census category to another throughout the activity. Further, all of them are public figures in one way or another.

All of them need you to help deciding where they would like to migrate in the U.S., particularly among all the metropolitan cities in the country.What resources will each family need to adjust or settle in to life in the United States? What is the most important concern for this family?What difficulties would you think they would face migrating to the United States? What advantage do they have?
